  • “Stop Looking at the Time”

    9 8 2019 week 1 Bishop Houston's Sunday Morning Church Post Proverbs 11 25
    There’s a post office near me that I don’t like going into because of one: the employees are very rude and two: it is very small. On this particular day, it had gotten late so I had to go to this post office to mail a special card so that it would arrive on a distinct day. I knew soon as I arrived it was going to be a long wait and I would have to deal with the attitude of the postal workers, but I headed into the post office in a big hurry. I had many errands to run before their closing times. As I entered, I was frustrated but not surprised to find a long line backed up to the door. “Hurry up and wait,” I mumbled, looking at my cell phone clock. My hand was still on the door when an elderly lady approached me, she said, “Sir, I can’t get this copier to work,” pointing to the machine behind us. “It took my money and I don’t know what to do.”

     
    Immediately I knew what God wanted me to do. I stepped out of line and was able to fix the problem in about 10 minutes. The woman thanked me and then left. As I turned to get back in line, there was no line!!! It was gone!!! 😀 I walked straight to the service counter and to my amazement the clerk was “VERY” pleasant also. 😀
     
    Beloved, my experience that day reminds me of Jesus’ words: “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (*1). My wait appeared to be shorter because God interrupted my urgency. By turning my eyes to others’ needs and helping, by giving my time, God gave me a gift. This is a lesson for me to remember the next time I look at my watch. 😀
     
    Let Us Pray:
    Dear Heavenly Father, all of the time I have left here on earth is in Your hands, and I thank You for Your gift. Please, continue to demonstrate to me how to use it so that I will continue to bring glory and honor to You. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen and Aaamen.
     
    Beloved, life is very short. It comes and goes like an unannounced gust of wind. None of us know the hour or day when that gust of wind will be permitted to enter our room and blow out our earthly light. So today, reach out and touch someone and tell them you love them, BECAUSE TELLING THEM LATER JUST MIGHT BE – TOO LATE.
     
    I LOVE YOU ALL!!! – Have an Extraordinary Sunday.
